Instruction Sheet P/N 108652H Description The Nordson back pressure regulator is a spring-loaded, hand-operated fluid pressure regulator designed for use with general liquid coating materials. The regulator increases or bleeds pressure to maintain the set pressure in the line upstream of the regulator. The regulator body is constructed of 316 stainless steel with a nickel-plated bonnet and can be used with a variety of coating materials. NOTE: All upstream fittings must be rated for 104 bar (1500 psi). Two service kits repair the standard flow regulator. The high-flow service kit increases the flow capacity of the regulator. Refer to Parts for more information. Specifications Operating Temperature: 4.5 74 C (40 165 F) Inlet and Outlet Ports: 3 / 8 -in. NPT O-rings: Buna-N Flow Capacity (standard) C v = 0.08 with high flow service kit: C v = 0.14 Pressures bar (psi) Minimum Maximum 0.7 104 (10 1500) inlet pressure Proof pressure 155.2 (2250) Burst pressure 413.8 (6000) Dimensions The regulator is typically panel-mounted.

2 Repair WARNING: Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks. Follow the safety instructions in this document and all other related documentation. WARNING: High Pressure Fluid Hazard. Relieve system fluid pressure before disconnecting fluid lines or servicing the regulator. The regulator can be disassembled and rebuilt without removing it from its mounting, if mounted in a convenient location with sufficient clearance. Required Tools and Materials Hex wrench sets (English and metric) Open-end or adjustable wrenches Flat-tip screwdriver set External snap ring pliers Regulator service kit or piston service kit NOTE: Order the piston service kit if you need to replace the piston and backup adapter. Piston Design Change See Figures 2, 3 and 4. An engineering change to the standard flow piston (21) enlarged the O-ring groove and added wear rings (). Use the parts shown depending on your piston design. 20 21 Old Design Piston (p/n 145377) Figure 2 3.63 mm (0.143 in.) 20 21 Piston Design Change 5.54 mm (0.218 in.) New Design Piston (p/n 345380) 1200144B Disassembly 1. To remove the regulator from the optional mounting bracket (27), loosen the screws (28) with a 5 / 32 -in. hex wrench. 2. Pry the button plug (1) from the top of the hand knob (4) with a flat-tip screwdriver. 3. Use external snap ring pliers to remove the retaining ring (2) from the adjusting screw (9). Remove the hand knob and attached label (3). 4. Hold the regulator body (25) in a vise and unscrew the bonnet (5) with a 1 5 / 8 -in. wrench. Remove the load spring (13). 5. Unscrew the set screw (12) that secures the adjusting screw assembly (9 through 11) within the bonnet. 6. Remove the adjusting screw assembly, washers (6, 8), and thrust bearing (7). The washers and thrust bearing may remain inside the bonnet. 7. Pull the piston assembly (14 through 21) out of the regulator body. Use pliers if necessary. 8. Use a screwdriver to remove the seat retainer (23) and seal (24) from the regulator body. Piston Repair 1. Hold the spring pad (14) with a 1 / 2 -in. wrench or vise and unscrew the piston (21) with a screwdriver. 2. Press the piston out of the back-up adapter (19). Be careful not to lose the seal (15), spacer (16), spring (17), or main valve (18). 3. Remove the O-rings and wear rings (20, 22, ). Install new, lubricated O-rings and wear rings on the piston and the back-up adapter. 4. Replace the seal, spacer, spring, and main valve (items 15 through 18) as necessary. 5. Push the piston into the back-up adapter until it snaps tight. 6. Lubricate the piston threads and screw the spring pad onto the piston. Hold the spring pad with a 1 / 2 -in. wrench or vise and tighten the piston to 8.5 10.2 N m (75 90 in.-lb).

4 Adjusting Screw Repair Typically, the adjusting screw assembly (9, 10, 11) does not need to be disassembled. Lubricate the screw threads (9) and make sure the two hex nuts (11) are tightened against each other so they do not vibrate loose during operation. To tighten the hex nuts, follow these steps: 1. Turn the top hex nut counterclockwise until it is 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) from the bottom of the spring cap (10). 2. Tighten the bottom hex nut against the top hex nut. Assembly NOTE: Make sure all wetted parts (items 14 through 24, plus 28) are clean. Contaminants in the fluid path can cause the main valve to seat improperly or incompletely. 1. Install the seat (24) into the regulator body (25) with the chamfered side facing up toward the main valve (18) stem. Lubricate the threads of the seat retainer (23) and tighten it into the regulator body. 2. Insert the piston assembly (14 through 21) and O-ring (22) into the regulator body. 3. Lubricate the thrust bearing (7) and washers (6 and 8) and install them on the adjusting screw (9). 4. Insert the adjusting screw assembly (items 6 through 11) into the bonnet (5). 5. Align the threaded hole of the spring cap (10) to the opening in the bonnet. Tighten the set screw (12). 6. Set the load spring (13) on the spring pad (14) and lubricate the bonnet threads. 7. Thread the bonnet into the regulator body. 8. Place the regulator body into a vise and tighten the bonnet to 54.2 67.8 N m (40 50 lb-ft). 9. Place the hand knob (4) and label (3) over the adjusting screw. Install a new retaining ring (2). Install the button plug (1). High-Flow Service Kit Installing the high-flow service kit will increase the flow capacity of the regulator. The kit replaces all the parts of the piston assembly except the spring pad. Refer to Parts for the service kit parts list. To install the kit, disassemble the regulator and piston assembly. Replace the piston assembly parts with the new parts included in the kit. Assemble the regulator.
